Changes

'''{{PAGENAME}}'''{{Fn|2a}} is a [[Primaris Space Marine]]{{Fn|2b}} of the [[Emperor's Spears]] Third [[Space Marine Company|Warhost]] who was formerly known as [[Lieutenant (Space Marine)|Lieutenant Commander]] [[Amadeus Kaias Incarius]] of the [[Mentors]] [[Chapter]].{{Fn|2a}}

His transformation began in the aftermath of the [[Great Rift]]'s creation, when the Mentors began to organise a mission, to travel to [[Elara's Veil]] in order to determine if the Imperial region still held firm{{Fn|2c}}. Incarius, as Vadhán was known then, volunteered for the task{{Fn|2d}} and was told by his [[Chapter Master]], [[Nisk Ran-Thawll]], that he would also act as emissary and observer to the Emperor's Spears and [[Celestial Lions]] Chapters, who defended the Veil. With his objectives given to him, Incarius took command of the [[Sword Frigate]] [[In Devout Abjuration]] and also the highly trained [[Chapter Serf|Helots]] '''Kartash Avik''', '''Tyberia Volos''', and '''[[Anuradha Daaz]]''', who would aid him in his mission. With that, the Abjuration crossed the Great Rift into order to enter the [[Straits of Epona]], which was now the only entrance into Elara's Veil{{Fn|2c}}. The journey was fraught with danger, however, and by the time they reached the Veil, the Sword Frigate was heavily damaged and thousands of its crew lay dead. Worse still, the ship's crew knew the Abjuration would not survive a return trip across the Rift and they were effectively trapped in the Veil. As the Abjuration limped its way to the Emperor's Spears Homeworld, [[Nemeton]], however{{Fn|2e}}, Incarius disregarded this and vowed they would return to the Mentors after they completed his mission. Once they arrived at Nemeton, Incarius explained his mission to the Spears, but he was met with a less than warm welcome by [[Space Marine Captain|Lord]] [[Brêac]], of the Chapter's Third Warhost.{{Fn|2c}}

As Incarius joined the hunt for the traitorous Helot, he ordered Anuradha to return to her room for her safety. However, Kartash later went to Anuradha's room to ask her to aid him in escaping from the Hex, in return for promising to free her from being a Helot. As he talked to her, though, Anuradha was both able to signal Incarius and use the [[Vortex Grenade|Void Grenade]] she had secretly armed herself with. When Incarius and Brêac soon arrived, they saw that Kartash was in fact a shape-shifting [[Callidus Assassin]], who trying to escape the Warp rift the Void Grenade had created. The two Space Marines would not given him that chance though and launched an attack that killed Kartash by cutting his body in half{{Fn|1d}}. Afterwards, the Spears began a coverup that would ensure the Mentors and the Inquisition never learned that Dubaku had been killed by their assassin. To add a finishing detail to their plan, the Hex then traveled to the Straits of Epona and shot an emergency beacon pod into it. The pod contained a message, stating that the Spears had found the wreckage of the Sword Frigate In Devout Abjuration, with no survivors aboard it. They did, however, discover evidence that the Inquisition had plotted to continue their vendetta against the Lions, by interfering with the Chapters protecting Elara's Veil. Because of this, the Spears swore that any Imperial ship entering the Veil bearing the symbols of the Mentors or Inquisition would be immediately destroyed on sight. With that done, Incarius and Anuradha willingly cast off the colors of their old Chapter and were welcomed by Brêac into the Spear's Third Warhost. The former Lieutenant Commander would soon embrace the Spear's culture, but before that began Anuradha suggested a new name for him, translated from Brêac's '''Vargantes''' tribal dialect. When he heard it, Incarius readily accepted it and with that, he became known as '''Vadhán''' or in [[Low Gothic]], '''False Scorpion'''.{{Fn|2a}}
